위성용 분리장치는 작동 전까지는 높은 체결력으로 위성의 부속물들을 안정된 체결 상태로 유지해야 한다. 작동 후에는 위성시스템에 손상이 없이 위성본체로부터 분리되어 태양전지판과 안테나와 같은 부속장치의 전개를 성공적으로 수행하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 분리충격이 작고 취급이 용이하며 재장착이 가능한 형상기억합금구동기와 태엽스프링을 이용한 소형위성용 비폭발식 분리장치를 제안하였다. 성능을 검증하기 위하여 분리시간, 분리가 가능한 사전하중, 분리장치 작동 시 충격량 측정 실험을 수행하였다.

이 논문은 형상기억합금 선재를 이용한 굽힘 작동기의 실험적인 설계방법을 다루고 있다. 제안된 굽힘 작동기는 유리섬유 프리프레그를 이용하여 만든 스트립, 스프링 그리고 형상기억합금 선재로 구성된다. 굽힘 작동기에서 스트립은 초기에 형상기억합금 선재에 초기하중을 가하기 위하여 굽힘 형태로 정되며, 스프링은 형상기억합금 선재가 작동 후 빠른 시간내에 초기 형상으로 돌아오기 위한 보조수단으로 사용된다. 먼저 형상기억합금 선재의 특성을 알아보기 위하여 시차주사열량계(DSC)를 이용한 실험, 여러 종류의 초기 하중을 가한 후 작동 성능 실험, 인장 시험, 온도 변화에 따른 기계적 거동을 조사하였다 이를 바탕으로 스트립, 스프링, 인가 전압에 의한 영향을 관찰하고 소모전력을 분석하여 굽힘 작동기를 설계하였다. 특정 조건을 갖는 굽힘 작동기는 낮은 소모전력으로 빠른 응답성능을 나다내었다.

Two aspects of the design of a small-scale smart wing are addressed in this work, related to the ability of the wing to modify its cross section assuming the shape of two different airfoils and to the possibility of deflecting the profiles near the trailing edge in order to obtain hingeless control surfaces. The actuation is provided by one-way shape memory alloy wires eventually coupled to springs, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) being among the most promising materials for this kind of applications. The points to be actuated along the profiles and the displacements to be imposed are selecetd so that they satisfactorily approximate the change from an airfoil to the other and to result in an adequate deflection of the control surface; the actuators and their performances are designed so that an adequate wing stiffness is guaranteed, in order to prevent excessive deformations and undesired airfoil shape variations due to aerodynamic loads. The effect of the pressure distributions, calculated by way of the XFOIL software, and of the actuators loads, is estimated by FE analyses of the loaded wing. Two prototypes are then realised incorporating the variable airfoil and the hingeless aileron features respectively, and the verification of their shapes in both the actuated and non-actuated states, supported by image analysis techniques, confirms that interesting results are achievable with the proposed lay out and design considerations.

본 연구에서는 형상기억합금 작동기의 열-기계적 특성과 구조물의 응용을 살펴보았다. Lagoudas 모델을 기본으로 3-D 형상기억합금의 구성방정식을 FORTRAN으로 해석 알고리즘을 만들어 user material(UMAT) subroutine을 개발하였다. 개발된 형상기억합금 해석 UMAT subroutine을 상용 프로그램 ABAQUS와 연계 해석하여 형상기억합금 작동기와 주 구조물간의 상호 특성을 수치적으로 살펴보았다.

This paper experimentally demonstrates the feasibility of using shape memory alloy(SMA) actuators in controlling structural vibrations of a flexible cantilevered beam. The dynamic characteristics of the SMA actuator are identified and integrated with the beam dynamics. Three types of control schemes; constant amplitude controller(CAC), proportional amplitude controller (PAC) and sliding mode controller(SMC) are designed. The CAC and PAC are determined on the basis of physical phenomenon of the SMA actuator, while teh SMC is formulated in a mathematical manner. The proposed controllers are implemented and evaluated at various operating condirions by investigating the control level of suppression in transient vibration.

The research and development of an actuator are accelerating in the robotics industry. The electricity polymer and SMA actuator are designed simply and are produced a lot of forces per unit volume. Their motions are similar to human's motion, But the repeatability of the electricity polymer actuator is lower. The reaction velocity of the SMA actuator is slow and the travel is short. In this paper, the dynamic characteristic of the segmented SMA is studied. The SMA wire is divided by using the Thermo-electric module(TEM) to control each of segments independently. The MOSFET circuit is used to supply constant currents fer the Thermo-electric module(TEM). The hysteresis and displacement of the SMA wire according to load are measured.

In this work, we propose a new type of HDD suspension featuring shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator in order to prevent the contact between the slider and disk. The principal design parameters are obtained from the modal analysis using finite element analysis, and then the dynamic model is established to formulate the control scheme for Non-Contact Start/stop mode drive. Subsequently, a robust H$\_$$\infty$/ control algorithm is designed by integrating experimentally-Obtained SMA actuator dynamics to the proposed HDD suspension system. The controller is empirically realized and control results for the load/unload profiles are presented in time domain. In addition, the contact signal between the slider and disk is measured by the electrical resistance method.

This research proposes a novel method of shape display to present 3-dimensional objects. Shape displays allow us to feel the actual volume of the object, unlike conventional 2D visual displays of 3D objects. The proposed method employs a wire frame structure to present 3D objects. The wire frame is composed of small units driven by shape memory alloy(SMA) actuators. The drive unit is analogous to the agonist-antagonist system of animal musculoskeletal systems, where the SMA actuators serve as agonist and antagonist muscles. The force in the SMA actuator is controlled by electrical current. The drive unit is equipped with the locking mechanism so that it can sustain the external force exerted by the user as well as the own weight of the wire frame structure. By controlling the current into the SMA actuator and locking mechanism, we call control the angle of the drive unit. A chain of drive units enables presentation of 2 dimensional objects. 3 dimensional presentations are possible by collecting the chains of drive units.
